Music (A.A.)

The Associate's Degree in Music includes courses in music theory, aural skills, ensembles, and applied lessons. Students will select from a comprehensive list of instruments for private study, including brass, winds, percussion, voice, piano, bass, and guitar. Students will also participate in ensembles which complement and enhance developing skills in the applied area. Upon completion of the Associate's degree, students are well equipped to work towards the baccalaureate degree in music, other allied disciplines, or our B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies.
